Yes.
Luna is a cloud streaming service. The whole point of it is that the number crunching and rendering is done on their servers and your PC or mobile device just handles the input and display.Daehawk wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 10:45 pm Ok Ill look again at Luna. But if they dont play on my system I dont see why playing them through Luna would help...unless it hosts the games on their hardware and streams the play to me.
EDIT: Looked at Luna. Prime members only get access to 14 or 15 games..none of them good or interesting. It rotates but right now nothing..and especially no Outlaws.
If it isn't for combat, then the developers shouldn't make where the factions can shoot you while you can only respond if 1: you build up the meter to do a dead eye mechanic, or 2: stop get off and shoot. It's just a silly decision all around. It's my main complaint of the game. I'm sure their budget wasn't very limited considering the franchise of the game, and it's been in development for quite some time.Max Peck wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 1:15 am It isn't a strange choice at all. The game isn't a shooter, and you have a speeder for thematic terrain traversal, not for combat. Given a finite budget and schedule, it isn't difficult to understand why they didn't devote a ton of resources to something that isn't a core element of the game.
I just see the speeder chases as flavor. The pursuers don't seem capable of inflicting any serious damage before either you charge up your adrenaline and drop them or simply outrun them (unless, as you say, you dismount and turn the encounter into a normal combat). I already explained why it seems to me to be a reasonable design choice given the focus of the game, so we'll just have to agree to disagree about whether it's a fatally flawed feature.naednek wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:03 pmIf it isn't for combat, then the developers shouldn't make where the factions can shoot you while you can only respond if 1: you build up the meter to do a dead eye mechanic, or 2: stop get off and shoot.

Right. But the question is, will I WANT to?coopasonic wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 6:34 pmcoopasonic wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 6:57 am You can continue to explore and check things off the various lists after the final mission.
Our team is currently working hard to address your feedback and deliver new content.
More title updates will be heading your way in the coming weeks along with the release of our first story pack on November 21st.
Stay tuned for more information soon.
It's called accuracy by volume.
NOTABLE CHANGES:
- Tweaked the overall stealth experience by adjusting AI detection, the number of NPCs and their positioning, patrol pathing, camera detection and highlighting environmental opportunities to reduce player friction
- Fixed an issue where players would get stuck in the hyperjump sequence towards Kijimi
- Fixed an issue where the 'Takeoff' button prompt wouldn't be shown after 'The Wreck' mission
- Improved the position of the speeder camera when the FOV was increased
- Improved the speeder's response and reaction when called
- Improved speeder collision with the environment to reduce being knocked off the speeder
- Kerro's Speakeasy - fixed an issue where the energy barrier was not disabled after successfully slicing the panel on Mirogana
- Fixed an issue where players could not interact with the triangulation stone in Jet Kordo's quest line on Toshara, and where the holotracker would not spawn in the Trailblazer
In this third Title Update, we've focused on improving stealth to give players more flexibility in how they approach situations in addition to tuning enemy AI and speeder travel. Many other improvements and fixes have been implemented to improve your journey across the galaxy. You can find the complete list of changes below.
Our next and 4th Title Update will be released on November 21St - and it's going to be our biggest one yet with exciting new features and improvements. Stay tuned for more details coming your way soon!
We are also aware of an ongoing issue affecting PC players after the 24H2 Windows Update. We are working hard to identify both the root cause and its resolution. This investigation is taking some time; therefore, the fix couldn't be ready for this Title Update. We'll deploy one as soon as it's ready and update all affected players.
NOTABLE CHANGES:
- Implemented stealth changes to 'False Flag' and other missions to give players more flexibility in how they approach situations without the risk of failing
- Improved speeder travel by reducing collisions with objects in the environment
- Improved NPC combat behavior
- Increased auto-save opportunities in open world hostile areas (Imperial Compounds and Faction Territories)
- Scaled 'Wanted' difficulty based on player progression
- Improved AI speeder avoidance
...and I did it all at release on standard difficulty. We're just better gamers. Many decades of experience helps!
I played it all the way through in Story mode and enjoyed it. Coop did it in regular mode. I'm not sure what folks were/are having problems with it, but I thought it was fine.
I suspect that the devs have access to metrics showing an unexpected number of players hitting that first forced-stealth instant-fail mission and giving up in frustration, so they made it a priority to adjust the difficulty of the stealth mechanics. It wasn't impossible, but it was more difficult than intended for a game designed to have a broad appeal. It was certainly one of the things that the game was being criticized for in reviews and player chatter.
I’m currently playing on hard mode, starting after the patch that addressed the unfair stealth issues. I can confirm that I haven’t encountered any problems with the stealth mechanics. While they’re simple, they work well and fit the playful tone of a Star Wars movie. I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been making my way through the story and have visited all but one planet (Tatooine). I love the game’s tone, style, and the process of unlocking all of Kay’s abilities. With the upcoming DLC and Steam store release, it might be worth waiting for those updates. That said, I’ve experienced severe computer freezes and VRAM degradation over time, which requires a restart when black, unrendered tiles start appearing. It’s frustrating, but it hasn’t dampened my enjoyment of the game.disarm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 9:06 am I picked this up at launch and put maybe 10 hours in before all the promises to 'fix the game' started coming from Ubisoft. I was enjoying it despite the obvious flaws, but decided that I would wait to play more until they released a few patches to address the problems. I still have to gone back to it yet.
For those who have been playing...do you think it's time to go back, or should I still give it a little more time?
I've played it since launch and still am playing. It's not a perfect game, but I never felt it was something to put away until it was fixed. They said there's improvements on the stealth. I haven't noticed, but I didn't really have any issues with it to begin with.disarm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 9:06 am I picked this up at launch and put maybe 10 hours in before all the promises to 'fix the game' started coming from Ubisoft.

PC, k+m
I hope you are about to have some fun. The next few missions are more on the rails side but pretty soon that starter planet opens up and you can start exploring. My advice is to unlock abilities you are going to want to stick to the story missions for a bit. Pretty much if you get frustrated by an obstacle that won't allow you to get a treasure a few story missions will get you on the track of unlocking that ability. I ran into the problem several times in the game. Otherwise the exploration is pretty fun.Daehawk wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2024 11:45 pm Well I jumped back into this. Remember I cant get it to run on my old system but I can play it through LUNA. I had not done anything in the game...just left the starting apartment and casino. Im using a controller in alternative mode to play.. Basically just changed the interact and melee buttons from right thumb press to X . Simple.
I played for near 3 hours tonight and got myself off the tutorial planet only to crash on the next one and meet my mechanic lol. Sorta feels like Firefly a bit.I called it there for the night. Ill hop on the speeder and head into town tomorrow.. I also just cancelled my SWTOR sub so I sub'd to LUNA instead now with that $10. Gonna see what else it offers me since it appear my building me a new pc may be another 2 years away again.
